Vietnamese coalition headed by Sihanouk. Each group maintains separate military commands.

There is deep suspicion between the Khmer Rouge and the two non-communist organizations but some informal battlefield cooperation has taken place. Neither the Vietnamese news media nor that of the pro-Hanoi Heng Samrin government in Cambodia, monitored in Bangkok, has referred to the current offensive. Virtually all information which journalists have obtained about the fighting comes from the guerrillas, civilians loyal to them, the Thai military and international aid officials operating on the Thai side of the frontier. Only scattered shelling was reported Saturday at Ampil camp, the headquarters of the Khmer People's National Liberation Front. But Lt.

Gen. Pichitr Kulla-vanijaya, commander of Thailand's 1st Army, predicted that the Vietnamese would attack that key bssc soon. About 5,000 of the Khmer Peo- lie's Liberation Front's 12,000 ighters are based at Ampil, which is protected by a lake and thick forests unlike the Rithisen camp which lies exposed on flat, sparsely forested terrain. The Vietnamese, who invaded Cambodia in late 1978, keep about 160,000 troops in Cambodia, many of them near the frontier where most of the fighting takes place. Early this year, the resistance especially the Khmer Rouge staged a number of spectacular raids deep inside Cambodia.

The Sihanouk supporters field about 5,000 fighters, and the Khmer Rouge more than 30,000. The three resistance groups have about 120 bases along the Thai-Cambodian border. Summery (Continued from page 1A) Temperatures were below zero across the northern Plains and Minnesota and near 20 below zero in portions of North Dakota and Montana. Residents along the Gila and San Francisco rivers in New Mexico watched the skies for more rain Saturday. Threateningly high river levels were dropping, but flood warnings remained in effect.

High water remained a problem throughout much of Arizona as well. A dike protecting the town of Duncan from the runoff-swollen Gila River broke in several places, sending a foot of water into town but causing little damage besides mud-cakedstreets. A winter storm warning was posted for inland parts of northwest Washington state and the Washington Cascades, where up to 6 inches of snow was expected. A travelers' advisory was issued for southwest Washington and the Oregon Cascades for snowfall of around 2 to 4 inches, with locally heavier amounts, the weather service said. i Across the By The Associated Press Saturday Temperatures indicate previous day's high and overnight low to 8 p.m.

Council statisticians said 430 traffic deaths could be expected during a four-day, non-holiday weekend at this time of the year. Last year, there were 261 traffic fatalities during the three-day New Year's weekend The worst such holiday was in 1965 when 564 people were killed during the three-day observance. Traffic accidents claimed 501 lives during the four-day Christmas weekend, for which the council had made an advance estimate of 370-470 deaths. lems associated with the methyl isocyanate cargo," said Coast Guard Lt.

Cmdr. Fred Brox. After arriving at the Union Carbide plant in southern Georgia, the chemical will be processed into the pesticide Temik, said Ms. Ford. Leonard Ledbetter, commissioner of Georgia's Department of Natural Resources, said a team trained in disaster drills was ordered to monitor the shipment in that state.

But Ledbetter said the possibility of an accident involving the chemical "is much less now than it would have been a month ago" because of the precautions and because of the relatively small quantity of methyl isocyanate involved. Georgia Gov. Joe Frank Harris ordered state police to escort the two trucks through the state after he was assured by the federal Occu-. pational Safety and Health Administration that inspectors will be present when the chemical is unloaded in Woodbine. Methyl isocyanate had been shipped to the Woodbine plant in drums loaded on trucks for 20 years until two years ago, when tanker trucks began to be used, plant officials said.

The plant's barrel unloading facility was reactivated under OSHA surveillance this month so the plant could receive the first shipment of barrels rejected by Brazil. Bobby Boggess, the driver of one of the trucks, said he's hauled chemicals, including methyl isocyan- ate, for 15 years. "I've hauled it before and never thought too much about it," Boggess said during a rest stop in North Carolina. "I don't think it is any different than before." By The Associated Press About half of all traffic accidents over the long New Year's weekend will involve a drinking driver, according to the National Safety Council. The council has urged party-goers who drive to abstain from drinking, drink only moderately, or arrange for other transportation.

Between 350 and 450 people could die in highway accidents during the period that began at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at midnight Tuesday, the council said. By 9 p.m. EST Saturday, 56 people Chemical. (Continued from page 1A) chemical leaked from a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, and turned to gas on contact with the air.

A first shipment rejected by Brazil was returned to Norfolk International Terminals on Dec. 10 and sent to Georgia by truck. The third, turned back by France, is scheduled to return Jan. 8. The ship carrying the chemical entered the port of Hampton Roads about 3:30 a.m.

Saturday. The 68 55-gallon stainless steel drums were packed in two 20-foot containers aboard the American Rigel, a United States Lines cargo vessel. The shipment underwent more rigorous inspection that usual "just because of the public interest," said Donald Hawkins, a terminal manager. The Coast Guard inspected the cargo as the ship entered the port, and the Union Carbide team opened the two containers after the vessel docked.
